There have never been any halflings in my campaigns and there never will be unless I have a player that chooses to be one, and then they can come up with a halfing populace that they hail from. (I don't ban any fantasy races in my campaigns).On the other hand, I love gnomes and include them as a focal point in all my settings. I just find they work so well alongside Dwarves. While Dwarves are stern, grudge-bearers who grumble and complain and are hardy and tough, gnomes are whimsical and eccentric and just pure fun to interact with. I always have a gnomish quarter in every Dwarven settlement and will usually make an NPC jeweler to be a character the PCs can sell treasure to, and one that has a well stocked library and knows about the ancient secrets of the world.I also love gnomes as a way of adding steampunk elements to a world, and usually have them be pioneers of invention and alchemy. One quirk I like to give my gnomes is they are obsessed with patents on technology, and will even cover inventions in useless trinkets and gizmos that are designed to confuse other gnomes attempting the steal the inner workings of a machine.</blockquote>
